FIRST
THINGS
FIRST
pHARLES
A.
BEARD,
the
historian,
informed
the
^
National
Education
association
division
of
super,
intedence
that
in
his
opinion
it
is
wrong
to
oppose
the
teaching
of
communism
in
the
schools.
It
should
be
taught,
he
indicated,
along
with
other
theories
of
society
and
economics,
that
pupils
may
have
a
rounded
view
of
the
world
and
be
able
to
judge
various
proposals
by
comparison
and
contrast.
In
theory
that
is
admirable.
But
like
so
many
theories
of
bookish
gentlemen
we
doubt
if
U
will
work
out
in
practice.
W
e
doubt,
for
instance,
that
the
place
to
do
it
is
the
public
schools,
either
primary
or
secondary,
and
not
for
political
reasons
but
for
rea
sons
of
common
sense
and
good'
judgment.
The
grade
and
high
schools
do
not
teach
the
Einstein
theory,
either,
although
a
well-grounded
mathematician
ought
to
have
a
working-
knowledge
of
this
development
if
he
is
to
be
abreast
of
modern
thinking
in
this
field.
The
grade
and
high
schools,
however,
confine
themselves
to
the
lower
reaches
of
mathematics,
arithmetic
and
algebra.
Unless
one
has
a
thorough
grounding
in
those,
he'll
never
encompass
the
Einstein
theory.
First
things
come
first.
In
the
same
way,
teaching
in
comparative
systems
of
government
can
be,
and
should
be,
postponed
for
more
mature
kinds.
The
thing
that
counts,
or
should
count,
in
a
public
school
supported
by
the
taxpayers'
money,
is
a
thorough
grounding
in
the
fundamentals
of
our
government,
its
history
and
its
theories.
With
those
well
in
mind,
a
student
who
is
interested
can
go
on
to
study
fascism,
communism,
and
whatever
else
in
the
way
of
political
economy
the
world
has
to
offer.
But
to
attempt
a
comparative
evaluation
of
communism
in
the
grade
and
high
schools,
when
students
should
be
acquiring
fundamentals,
is
to
run
great
risks
of
confusing
and
misleading
youthful
and
untrained
minds..
Mr.
Beard,
like
many
another
expert,
sees
the
world
in
terms
of
his
own
vast
knowledge
of
his
own
specialty.
It
is
familiar
and
easy
to
him,
who
has
spent
a
life-time
at
it.
He
fails
to
realize
that
it
is
hard
going,
with
plenty
of
chance
for
stumbles
and
falls,
for
the
.immature
mind.
Students
must
learn
to
walk
before
they
can
run,
and
stuffing
their
minds
with
"isms"
before
they
have
thoroughly
digested
the
.
three
R's
leads
to
mental
indigestion.
What
we
want
our
schools
to
do
is
to
turn
out
good,
reasoning,
straight-thinking
American
citizens.
We
don't
want
them
confused
and
half-educated,
with
bits
of
every
kind
of
useless
or
useful
knowledge
crammed
into
their
heads
like
a.pudding.
The
whole
question
has
nothing
to
do
with
"academic
freedom"
or
"liberalism."
It's
a
practical
matter,
having
to
do
with
educational
fundamentals.
UNITED
ON
FARM
PROGRAM
Â·yiTHETHER
it
will
or
not
is
debatable
but
the
enact*
ment
of
the
new'national
program
for
agriculture
should
have
the
effect
of
removing
the
whole
subject
from
the
field
of
partisan
politics
in
the
campaign
ahead.
The
plan
adopted
was
in
substance,
and
almost
in
detail,
the-
plan
proposed
some
ten
years
ago
by
Frank
O.
Lowden.
It
is
the
plan
which
was
approved
by
the
recent
republican
state
convention
in
Iowa.
It
is
the
plan
which
for
months
has
had
the
active
backing
of
numerous
republican
leaders
throughout
the
nation.
On
the
other.side
of
th'e
ledger
are
the
facts
that
it
was
enacted
by
a
congress
preponderantly
democratic
and
made
effective
by
a
democratic
chief
executive,
as
a
substitute
for
the
triple
A
plan
which
was
found
unconstitutional.
Triple
A
was
a
democratic
measure
but
this
new
agricultural
program
transcends
party.
'
,
This
union
of
the
two
major
parties
on
a
policy
which
recognizes
agricultural
well-being
as
fundamental
in
our
national
economics
is
indeed
a
happy
augury
for
farming.
In
the
past
the
pull
and
haul
of
partisan
politics
has
been
the
one
thing
which
militated
most,
against
agriculture's
advancement.
Competitive
promising
for
the
farmer
vote
should
be
definitely
out-of
the
coming
campaign.
JUST
WHO
HATES
WAR?
rpHE
refusal
of
some
in
America
to
recognize
the
fundamental
point
with
regard
to
necessity
of
adequate
national
defense
and
a
citizenry
willing
to
protect
its
government
was
evident
in
an.
Iowa
newspaper's
recent
observations
on
the
pledge
of
allegiance
required
of
those
seeking
American
citizenship.
The
editorial
in
question
proceeds
from
the
premise
that
"hatred
of
war"
is
the
objectionable
attribute
of
a
noted
scientist
xvho
as
a
fugitive
from
nazi
Germany
now
seeks
American
citizenship
on
his
own
terms..
This
is
as
complete
a
misrepresentation
of
the
facts
as
could
be
imagined.
Its
corollary
is
that
those
who
favor
preparedness
for
war
are
lovers
of
war.
The
truth
is
that
a
considerable
part
of
those
in
this
group
hate
war
far
more
intelligently
than
the
writer
of
the
editorial
in
question
because
they
have
experienced
it
Irrespective
of
whether
we
like
war
or
hate
it,
war
today
is
a
live
possibility
for
this
country.
To
ignore
it
is
equivalent
to
combating
the
fire
-hazard
by
mere
moral
suasion
rather
than
through
a
well
equipped
and
well
manned
fire
department.
A
willingness
to
defend
our
country
is
one
of
the
.first
obligations
of
citizenship.
We
hope
for
loyalty
Â·--and
get
it
in
99
cases
,out
of
100--from
those
who
are
born
to
American
citizenship.
Surely
we
would
bs
the
easymark
if
we
didn't
Insist
upon
it
from
those
who
seek
haven
in
American
citizenship
as
does
this
eminent
fugitive
scientist.

Power
strikes
today
call
for
a
return
to
the
principles
laid
down
by
Coolidge,
namely,'
that
there
must

no

"by

Finding
a

which

operative
only
against

camp
has
become
a
major
problem
in
our
democratic

you'll
have
to
admit
that

maligned

done

intelligent
job

thus
far.
Ever

consider
that

play
'em,
there
wouldn't
be
such

He

he

EXPENSIVE
LUXURIES.
Decorah
Public
Opinion:
The
fact
is
that
our
state
democratic
administration
is
responsible
for
not
less
than
a
25
per
cent
increase
In
our
tax
bill
during
the
past
couple
of
years!
And
though
most
of
it
is
paid
indirectly,
making
it
difficult
to
compile
exact
figures,
we
believe
the
national
democratic
administration
is
responsible
for
a
still
larger
increase
in
our
federal
tax
bill.
These
democratic
administrations
are
certainly
expensive

SUGGESTION

Sheffield

If

admit

imperfect
nature
and
realize
that
organized
religion
is
at
best
only
a
human
instrument
to
serve
human
beings;
and
if
all
church
members,
however
sanctified
they
may
consider
themselves,
would
exhibit
greater
tolerance
to
others,
the
way
would
be
open
to
greater
growth
in

membership.

AN
APPRECIATION
OF
MR.
TIERNEY
GARNER--I
am
impelled
to
write
you
concerning
J.
E.
(Ted)
Tierney.
He
held
a
lofty
position
in
the
esteem
of
his
Hancock
county
neighbors
and
his
death
was
a
matter
of
sorrow
to
all.
I
think
his
chief
irait
was
his
kindly
tolerance,
not
because
he
lacked
discernment
but
because
of
an
innately
good
heart.
3e
was
a
devoted
father
and
a
loving
nusband.
There
was
an
ideal
companionship
between
Mr.
and
Mrs.

I

believe
Ted
Tiemcy
had
any
but
friends
among
the
many
who
knew
him.

DIVIDE
HUMANS
IN
THREE
TYPES.
W
E
MAY
divide
the
human
race
into
three
classes.
Let
us
call
one
the
Â·Â·normal"
or
"average"
pattern.
This
type
goes
through
life
.in
an
orderly
manner,
mixing
his
acts
in
about
equal
proportions
between
those
that
are
inspired
by
reason
and
emotion.
His
life
is
a
mixture
of
staid,
sober
actions,
conforming
to
the
conventional
pattern
of
the
particular
strata
of
society
to
which
he
belongs,
but
at
times
given
to
flights
of
fancy,
to
the
performance
of
silly,
ridiculous,
illogical
or
actually
harmful
things,
but
nearly
always
with
enough
common
sense
to
bring
himself
"back
to
earth"
before
going
beyond
his
depth
hi
flights
of
emotional
stimulus.
In
other
words,
he
is
able
to
"keep
both
feet
on
the
ground."
Then
there
are
two
extremes
from
this,
average
or
normal
pattern,
"the
emotionalist"
and
"the
phlegmatic."
Probably
the
most
unpopular
individual
in
the
world
is
the
extremely
r
Clendeninz
Phlegmatic
soul,
who
apparently
*
never
has
a
thought
beyond
satisfying
the
most
elemental
urges.
The
emotionalist,
on
the
other
hand,
goes
through
life
with
a
constant
relapsing
fever
of
mental
exuberance
or
despondency.
He
figuratively
"knocks
all
the
tin
pans
off
the
shelf,"
raising
a
terrific
din
and
turmoil,
irritating
himself
ana
his
friends.
He
heads
all
the
"movements;"
writes
all
the
nonsensical
literature;
is
either
crowing
like
a
young
rooster
about
his
mental
Superiority
or
sunk
in
the
depths
of
despair.
What
We
Would
Choose.
If
we
were
free
to
choose
the
ideal
type
of
personality
Â·
for
ourselves
and
our
friends
we
would
endow
ourselves
and
our
friends
with
generosity,
a
sense
of

emotionalism

this
with

Such

eliminate
a

of
the

because
so
many
human

directly

to
an

It

really
remarkable
how
many
complaints,

result
in
no

findings.
The

of
the

must
be
put

as
emotional.

represent
only
a
disturbance
in

function
with

be
just
as
sick
and
miserable,
or
even
more
so,
than
if
an
organic

is

"INFLATION
AHEAD"
A
T
A
MEETING
of
five
of
the
country's
best
known
"
economists
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
they
all
agreed
that
inflation
was
inevitable,
whether
the
government
wills
it
or
not.
They
said
its
processes
were
already
in
motion,
and
that
under
the
present
monetary
situation
there
is
every
indication
that
the
United
States
is
heading
into
the
most
swiftly-moving
speculation
and
credit
inflation
in
its
history.
One
of
the
economists
reported
that
experts
had
found
two
main
causes
for
the
"inflationary"
condition
of
the
country:
Expansion
of
the
nation's
monetary
basis
and
the
amassing
of
excess
reserves
by
national
banks.
The
group
cited
continued
sale
of
government
bonds
to
banks
as
the
chief
danger
brought
about
by
this
condition.
The
word
"inflation"
is
an
exciting
one
and
no
two
people
mean
the
same
thing
by
it
and
so
it
is
confusing
also.
Is
inflation
expansion
of
credit,
the
issuance
of
greenbacks,
or
is
it
butter
at
41
cents
a
pound?

that
a

now
emerging
is
an
excellent
test
of
man's
ability
to
live
like
a
civilized
human
being.
Could
you
get
along
with
the
family
equably,
restrain
your
impatience
with
their
little
foibles,
and
guard
against
of-,
tense
by
foibles
of
your
own?
Could
you
devise
things
to
do
to
keep
time
from
hanging
heavy
on
your
hands
until
a
quarrel
breaks
out
in
sheer
Boredom''.
These
are
the
little
things,
in
normal
seasons
of
less
than
no
importance,
that
may
become
big
things
when
one
is
in
jail,
the
prisoner
of
the
weatherman.
Did
you
sense,
as
I
did,
the
uplift
of
spirit
which
accompanied
the
thaws
we
have
bad?
Did
the
sound
of
splashing
water
in
the
streets
seem
to
you
like
a
chorus
of
bluebirds
and
robins?
Did
you
get
a
kick
out
of
watching
the
snowdrifts
dwindle?
And
did
you
notice
the
kids
scrambling
and
splashing
through
every
puddle,
instinctively
delighting
in
the
first
hint
that
there
is
release
in
sight?
One
felt
the
lift
on
every
hand.
I
was
in
and
out
of
a
dozen
business
places
those
two
days,
and
everywhere
I
dropped
in
I
found
people
gay,
optimistic,
and
good-tempered
with
each
other.
A
few
hours
aSove
freezing,
with
the
sun
shining,
sends
the
spiritual
barometer
of
our
whole
town
sliding
up
the
scale.
Well,
there's
more
of
it
coming.
The
sun's
climbing
higher
and
higher,
and
Old
Man
Winter,
for
all
he
may
take
a
few
more
bats
at
us
before
he's
through,
is
heading
toward
his
annual
defeat.
Soon
we'll
be
out
of
jail.
And
I,
for
one,
am
going
to
feel
so
good
about
it
when
it
happens
that
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
to
find
myself
playing

of

an

titled

It's
his
contention
that
nine-
tenths
of
our
accidents
are
caused
by
people
trying
to
save
five
minutes.
To
quote:
"If
